Run the stud finder along the wall in the approximate area where you plan to mount your television. Mark the left and right edges with a pencil in several spots along the vertical plane. As these holes will be behind the TV, a few strategically placed pilot holes will not be visible once the job is done. Use the television mount template to line up the mount's holes on the wall. Use a level to be sure the TV will be mounted straight. This will ensure that the wall bracket sits flat on the wall and doesn't rock.
Insert each bolt and rotate it so the wings open vertically behind the flange. Make sure the bracket is level, then tighten the bolts. They should be secured against the stud and the drywall. We recommend that you insert a snap toggle into every hole in the TV mount. Even if each bolt doesn't line up with a metal stud, it will provide extra support for your TV.
For those less inclined to mount their own television on the wall, the experts at Puls have the skills and equipment needed to get the job done fast. We can be at your door when it's convenient for you, even that same-day if needed. You can do that by first determining the approximate location with a stud finder. Then, take a small drill bit — the smaller the better — and use that to probe for for the edges of the metal stud. Mark each edge with a pencil.
I demonstrate this in the video above. I guess I should mention that before you start drilling a bunch of wholes in the wall, make sure you know where you will be attaching the wall mount bracket to the wall.
That way you can strategically drill behind where the bracket will be, saving you from having to patch a bunch of holes in the wall. You probably want your TV at a certain height and at a certain location side-to-side on the wall. So before drilling your holes, figure out exactly where you want to mount the TV so you know where to attach the tv wall mount bracket.
Click here to see a metal drill bit. Otherwise the toggle bolt will run into the side of the metal stud and the connection will be all funky and not as robust. It takes a little patience to get the snap toggle in place, especially when there is insulation in the walls. To locate the edges of the studs more precisely, as you will need to determine the true center afterward, choose a small drill bit to explore behind the drywall.
Since these holes are going to be behind the TV, when the job gets completed, a few carefully positioned pilot holes will not be noticeable. You may typically prefer to have your TV side-to-side on the wall at a certain height and spot. Use the TV mounting guide to align up the holes on the wall of the mount. Use a level to verify that the TV is placed correctly. It is also easier to first pre-drill the holes with a smaller drill bit, which will provide a hole that will lead and prevent the bigger drill bit from moving.
Be sure it is level with the bracket, then tighten the bolts. The stud and the drywall should be secured against them.
We suggest that a snap toggle be placed into any hole in the TV install. The toggle bolt would otherwise run into the side of the metal stud and the contact will be unstable and not as secure. You will need to have a little patience and concentration to get the snap toggle in place, particularly when the walls are insulated. Simply mount the bracket to your wall now. Any metal washers which normally come with your TV wall mount will also be required.
